There are time as I make my way through San Francisco, that all I can do is see ghosts, traces of former selves. Sometimes, I see things afresh. But that afresh is never quite fresh; I am tendencies this way or that, feel better here or there, based on the past. How could it be otherwise? We are confronted by time — not time passing but time folding — everywhere, always, to greater and less degrees of intensity.

I went to undergrad at App State in the mountains of NC. That campus has grown significantly since I graduated in 2003. When I go, it seems all I can notice for quite a while is all the new things. And it also seems my general reaction towards the new things is one of revulsion: you shouldn't be here. You are fucking up my imaginary and forcing me to deal with that fucker called "time," which of course is sort of everything, right? <br />drwatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16184322472302989822noreply@blogger.com
